if anything, obama has momentum. he was declared the winner by voters in the final two debates. i'm not sure how the hurricane is playing for him, but his numbers ticked up. that's why all these states that seem very toss up-y now seem like they're more firmly in the president's favor, at least in the polls. >> nate, let me just ask you, and i didn't warn you that i was going to ask you this so tell me if you don't want to answer it, but you have been the subject of a lot of criticism in this last week, in particular, as if what the polling model that you built at the "new york times" and the way that you explain the polling is somehow biased or wrong or evil. i feel like you are waging a one-man war against explaining how polling works and how averaging works. how has the week been? >> it's been a trip where you become a subject of conversation yourself and there's this kind of celebrity level attached to it that's very new for me. but there are other websites that do the same thing that we do. pollster.com and three or four others and they all show basically the same thing. th

a new poll showing president obama and governor romney tied now at 47% among women voters nationwide, closing that 16-point gap from last month. meagan, what happened to the president's lead with women voters? >> i think what happened is the debates happened. i've been saying a lot i think this election is going to be about much more than just birth control, contraception and abortion. i think as mitt romney has shown himself to be a stronger leader women have really come around. i will say that i do believe this election will be chosen, who the winner is, specifically by women voters. >> jeff, is it just the debates, is that all we're seeing or is there more at play? >> look, i certainly am going to defer to these other people on the panel as to what women want, being that they are women. one thing i think is a challenge for mitt romney and paul ryan when it comes to the women vote and i agree with meagan that it's that much more choice on issues like that. but the problem is when you have comments like mourdock made out of indiana and aiken out of missouri where they're talking abou
